Cuckoo Lebron-za!

Okay, I don't think we can rely on King James putting up those kinds of numbers (sports.yahoo.com) for the entire series: he went for the rare quadruple-double (12 PTS, 2-18 FG, 10 TO, 9 REB, 9 AST) and absolutely blew an easy layup in the closing moments that would have tied the game at 74 apiece.

Meanwhile, Kevin Garnett (whom I described as a "shrinking violet" during the fourth quarter in a previous post) played like the true MVP that he is and attacked the basket in the final stanza to give Boston back the lead ... He became a much-needed source of offense in this game, as Pierce and Allen combined to put up Lebron-like numbers, and in this case that wasn't a good thing (4 PTS, 2-18 FG, 10 TO).

Overall, it wasn't the prettiest game of basketball I've ever seen, but the C's continued their perfect streak at home, and - for right now - that's all that matters ...
